The sounds of a bubbling creek and wind passing through trees high overhead accompanied the horns and strings of a symphony performed in Ravenna Park ravine on Saturday night.

Performers played excerpts from composer Nat Evans’ “Hungry Ghosts.” The music was performed by candlelight. Also performed was “mr/2,” composed by John Teske and an improvised sax solo by Neil Welch.

People gathered in the ravine, sitting on fallen trees or the soft forest floor. At dusk they lit candles as “Hungry Ghosts” was performed.

Neil Welch, who performed on the sax, said this was the third year the musicians have gathered and performed in the heavily wooded ravine. The show used to be a secret and just for close friends, but this year the public was invited.

Directions to the show were pictorial and were specifically made to be a bit tricky to find. “You have to work at it,” he said.

The two dozen or so people that were successful at finding the show —and those high overhead on a pedestrian bridge— were rewarded with calming music echoing through the woods.
